First Results of the Analysis of the Wolf-Rayet Star WR6
Abstract
We present the first results of our analysis of the famous variable star, WR6 (HD50896). Using IUE ultraviolet data and an ESPaDOnS spectropolarimetric survey of this star, we plan to determine possible variation of the stellar and wind parameters during the different phases using the radiative transfer code CMFGEN. After the detection of parameter's modifications as a function of the phase, we will analyse deeper the origin of these variability (for example, CIRs?). In the present poster we show the first results of our analysis of the variability and the first step of the stellar parameter determination of the average spectrum of this star.
